Free agent K Nick Novak will work out for the Saints on Tuesday.
this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Novak is a very solid kicker and really good under pressure. Struggles beyond 50 but that is almost every kicker. Nothing wrong with some spirited competition especially with a rookie kicker and more emphasis on the kicking game this year....

I thought Hocker did well enough to win the job. Payton does love to tinker needlessly it seems.

Re: Free agent K Nick Novak will work out for the Saints on Tuesday.
Hockers mind is probably a little confused right now. He just beat out another good kicker the entire training camp and wins. Now just as his nerves has settled and he has a great frame of mind Payton does this. A bit unsettling if you ask me. Although I did like the other kicker in training camp a little better.

But his twin, John, was pretty good aside from the missed extra point against Jacksonville. When he came back to us the second time, he was not so good anymore. |
